Police probe intensifies in Rs 7.11-crore Bengaluru heist; suspects questioned, fake number plate traced

BENGALURU: South division police investigating the Rs 7.11-crore daylight heist are yet to get vital leads about the robbers, and are questioning more than 30 suspects, including the Cash Management Services (CMS) staff. However, two suspects identified as Hemanth and Sunil from Kalyan Nagar, near Banaswadi, were taken into custody near Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh, but there was no confirmation from police about their detention. The Toyota Innova in which the accused had escaped was found abandoned in Andhra Pradesh. Three vehicles -- the Innova, a Maruti Suzuki Zen and Maruti Suzuki WagonR -- were used by the accused to escape with the cash. Investigators found the Innova used in the crime had a fake number plate of a Maruti Swift, whose owner resides on Indiranagar 100 Feet Road in Bengaluru. The gang used an Uttar Pradesh registration number on the same Innova while leaving the city via Hoskote-Malur Road. Checks are being conducted at all city borders, including Hoskote, Chikkaballapur and Kolar, and CCTVs at tollgates and in the vicinity are also being checked. The gang hoodwinked police by splitting into teams and travelling in three cars. They were successful in making police track only the Innova, while actually escaping with the cash in the Zen and WagonR. Police are also not ruling out the possibility of the accused hiding in the city, and are also checking if the accused had visited Angala Parameswari temple in Tamil Nadu and Tirumala Tirupati temple. Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh was in Siddapura police station, where the case was registered, till late Wednesday night. The driver of the cash-in-transit-vehicle (GJ-01-HT-9173) and another CMS staffer were again taken to the scene of crime on Thursday. One team visited Bengaluru Central Prison in Parappana Agrahara, following clues that the accused conducted the operation from inside the jail premises. Around 18 teams have been formed to probe the case. Central Crime Branch (CCB) officials have also been also roped in for the investigation, which is being supervised by four Joint Commissioners of Police. More than 50 senior police officers in the rank of ACP and police inspectors are checking CCTV footage and other technical details on suspicion that the gang has fled to a neighbouring state. Police question Swift owner The accused had used registration number KA-03-NC-8052 for the Innova in which they initially escaped with the money from the city. During investigations, police found that the registration number belongs to a white Maruti Swift, and the owner is Gangadhar, a senior citizen who lives on Indiranagar 100 Feet Road. A traffic police officer visited Gangadhars residence soon after the daylight heist, and found the Swift with the same registration number parked inside the house compound. Police explained to him that his vehicles registration number was used by the gang that had robbed Rs 7.11 crore and escaped. Police checked the car details with the owner to rule out the possibility of any foul play. His statements were also recorded. Gangadhar (78) told the media that he doesnt know why his cars number plate was used, and police should investigate. Police must find out how the accused got my car number. A traffic police officer came to my residence on Wednesday afternoon, saying my car number had been misused. Later, I got to know through the media. The car is a 2018 model, I am the single owner and have driven around 45,000km. I rarely use my car, and had taken it to the showroom to change the old number plate to High Security Registration Plate. I am a heart patient and my blood pressure has shot up ever since I found out about the car number being used for the robbery. I did not sleep the entire night,he said. Police on the job: Home Minister G Parameshwara Meanwhile, Home Minister G Parameshwara told the media that police have taken all information, and are checking if the accused are from Karnataka or any other state. The registration number of a Maruti Swift was used for the Innova, and the owner has been contacted. After the robbery, the accused changed vehicles to transport the cash. Exact information about the vehicles in which the cash was taken is not yet known. The accused will be arrested soon, the minister said.

BENGALURU: Energy Minister KJ George and Housing Minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan on Thursday visited Janakirama Layout and a slum attached to Kacharakanahalli Lake where 457 families, mostly from Kalyan Karnataka, are staying for long.

In this regard, 684 houses have been identified and the necessary works have to be taken up immediately. George has plans to rejuvenate the Kacharakanahalli Lake. But this cannot take place without relocation of slum-dwellers in the lake premises.

Karnataka govt, private sector pool Rs 1,200 crore to boost deep tech startups, IT/BT minister Kharge says

BENGALURU: On the concluding day of BTS 2025, IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge lauded the collaboration between the government and the private sector in investing in a deep tech ecosystem in Karnataka. He announced that a total fund of over Rs 1,200 crore has been amassed for the investment. Of this amount, various venture capitalists have contributed a combined total of Rs 786.43 crore, with the Karnataka government contributing the rest. You will not see this anywhere in India where the government and the private sector collaborate to invest in deep tech. We want to inspire the rest of the country to ideate and innovate. Together we will build an ecosystem that is unmatched in the world, he said, thanking the donating venture capitalists who were brought onto the stage. He added that in his political career, it was unprecedented for him as a government official to propose a monetary donation and have the private sector contribute equally, if not more, to the initiative. Kharge also mentioned that 143 startups had benefitted from the Elevate programme. Some of the notable ones are Bharatone Services and Affiliates, Anucharith Innovations and Dxbiotics LLP. Owners of the most funded startups were brought onto the stage and felicitated. The minister said he wanted to see the startups reach a stage one day where they can contribute like the venture capitalists had.

25 Kannadigas among 125 Indians rescued from Myanmar scam centres

BENGALURU: What began as a promise of high-paying jobs ended in months of fear and captivity for 125 Indians, including 25 from Karnataka, who were rescued from Myanmars notorious scam centres and brought back to Delhi in two batches on Wednesday night from Mae Sot, Thailand. They were lured abroad with promises of high-paying jobs but instead found themselves held captive, threatened at gunpoint, and forced to engage in online fraud operations. After landing in New Delhi, the returnees were questioned by immigration and central agencies before being handed over to their respective state representatives on Thursday morning. Karnataka officials received the 25 youths and shifted them to Karnataka Bhavan, where arrangements were made for food, temporary stay, and onward travel. The state government sanctioned Rajdhani train tickets for their return to Bengaluru, while around 13 chose to fly home at their own expense. As part of the Government of Indias ongoing efforts to safely bring back Indians stuck in trafficking and scam centres in Southeast Asia, the Indian Embassy in Bangkok and the Consulate in Chiang Mai worked closely with various agencies of the Thai government and the authorities of Thailands Tak Province. Several of the youths said they were contacted through social media with attractive job offers, flown to Bangkok by the recruiters themselves and transported by road across the border to Myanmar. If we asked questions, they pointed guns at us. We were forced to cheat people online. If we refused, they harassed us, said one of the Kannadiga returnees, requesting anonymity. Indian authorities have reiterated warnings to job-seekers, urging them to verify foreign employers and legitimacy of recruiting agents before accepting overseas offers. Officials also stressed that visa-free entry to Thailand is strictly for tourism or short business visits and must not be misused to seek employment, as such misuse often exposes travellers to trafficking networks. Relieved to be back home, the rescued youths appealed to others not to fall prey to similar scams. Officials said many of the youths were first contacted through Facebook with offers of data-entry jobs, earning around Rs 80,000 per month. Agents allegedly booked their tickets from various Indian cities to Bangkok, where on arrival they were picked up and taken by road to Myanmar. Once across the border, they were held captive and forced into different kinds of work under harsh conditions. According to the official, some were made to work for long hours, fined for delays, and treated almost like slaves. He said the trafficking pattern has been ongoing since March, with several rescue flights operated earlier.

Ongoing interstate pvt bus strike, festive rush send airfares soaring in Kerala

KOCHI: The ongoing indefinite strike by several private-bus operators across south India has seen airfares go through the roof, particularly on key sectors such as Kochi-Bengaluru and Kochi-Hyderabad. This, coupled with the early rush for Christmas booking has pushed flight ticket costs to new highs, with some fares more than double their normal range. Ticket prices on Kochi-Bengaluru route for Thursday ranged from Rs 8,730 to a staggering Rs 29,400, compared with the normal range of Rs 2,300-7,000. And, fares on the Hyderabad-Kochi sector for December 21 (Sunday) hover from Rs 12,418 to Rs 27,900, far exceeding the normal Rs 3,200-5,000 range. According to Biji Eapen, national president of the IATA Agents Association of India, the average flight ticket price for the week leading up to Christmas has already breached the Rs 10,000 mark and is expected to skyrocket further as the festival season approaches. Airfares from Kochi to sectors like Bengaluru and Hyderabad have rises, while those for the Christmas season have skyrocketed. The situation will be worse as we near the festival season. The continuing strike by inter-state private bus operators is a key factor. Airlines follow a dynamic pricing system despite instructions from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to increase flight capacity and cap fares during the festive season and publish on their websites in advance the move to hike fares. The sector is unregulated. In fact airlines can increase the demand artificially by showing lower seat capacity, he pointed out. Bus operators crisis The root cause of the current travel chaos lies in the ongoing protest by inter-state private bus operators, who are demanding relief from what they describe as unfair taxes levied by Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. While a small group of operators have resumed service, the majority are continuing the strike, said Rijas A J, vice-president of the Intercity Bus and Car Operators Confederation of India and owner of Sona Travels. The financial burden is immense. An operator must pay Rs 12 lakh as tax for running a single service (two buses) for a 90-day period. This unsustainable cost is pushing bus owners into a crisis, with many fearing their assets could be seized by lending institutions by early next year. We also cant increase ticket prices as the same will result in a drop in demand. This is especially so with the newly launched Vande Bharat service on the Kochi-Bengaluru sector, Rijas said. The crisis has impacted even major players. FlixBus, a multinational giant, has reportedly threatened to halt operations in sectors like Alappuzha-Bengaluru and Alappuzha-Hyderabad due to the tax issue, having already drastically cut down on services. With private bus travel largely unavailable, travellers are increasingly reliant on KSRTC and rail alternatives. A senior KSRTC official confirmed that the corporation continues to operate additional services to Bengaluru. Furthermore, the Railways has stepped in, announcing the augmentation of coaches in trains destined for Chennai, such as the addition of one sleeper coach to Train No 22640 (Alappuzha-MGR Chennai Central Express) for several days in late November.
